Chapter 79
~ ALISA
My mother didn’t teach me much.
My father taught me everything I knew. He taught me to use a knife, he taught me to shoot, and he taught me enough to get me on the Alpha’s council.
However, the one thing my mother taught me was the one thing that kept me in his head.
“All men are the same,” she told me after a long afternoon.
I was ten and she was braiding my hair in the middle of our living room. She barely spoke to me unless it was to scold me about my posture or remind me of what it meant to be a woman.
However, that day was different.
“There is one thing on their minds all the time… sex p>
I’d screwed up my face in disgust.
No ten year old wanted to talk about sex, but she didn’t stop speaking.
“They only have enough brain cells to use one head at a time. If you can keep their lower head occupied, then you can control the one on their shoulders p>
I didn’t understand what she meant… not until I met Henry.
He had the potential to be a brilliant Alpha, but only if he could get his head out of his ass long enough to do so. Thankfully, I didn’t want his head out of his ass.
“Excuse me?” he asked, turning slowly to face me.
My jaw hurt from how hard he’d fucked my mouth and a few tears had leaked from the corner of my eyes. I could feel the electricity burning through the room as his uninhibited emotions crackled.
Still, I didn’t back down.
“I’m not leaving,” I repeated, arms crossed over my chest. “I’m not going to shut up because you’ve fucked my mouth p>
He growled low, a warning sound, but I ignored it. He wouldn’t hurt me.
I walked towards him, letting the straps of my dress fall down my shoulders as I moved. His nostrils flared, but he didn’t look away or try to stop me.
With each step, I tugged my dress lower, revealing my braless tits, then my stomach, and my hips before finally pooling on the floor as I stopped in front of him.
His hands tightened into fists by his side, his eyes dark with arousal but he didn’t touch me… just as I hoped.
I glanced up at him through my lashes, letting a finger trail down his chest suggestively before walking around him, heading over to his desk and bending over slowly.
I spread my legs, baring myself to him and he cursed, murmuring choice words under his breath as I heard his clothes rustling from behind me.
The corner of my lips curled as he lined up behind me, one hand hard on my waist as he entered me in one quick thrust.
I gripped the table hard, eyes rolling into the back of my head as a loud moan left my lips.
A sharp sting landed on my ass. “Shut the fuck up p>
I moaned. “You feel… oh fuck p>
One hand trailed down my back to wrap around my throat hard enough that I gasped, my pussy walls fluttering around his dick. His thrusts were relentless, each stroke driving me to the point of insanity.
I tried to keep my wits about me, trying not to succumb to the pleasure that threatened to swallow me whole.
“You fuck me like this and won’t make me your Luna,” I hissed. “Coward p>
“Shut. Up p>
He punctuated each word with a thrust that I felt all the way to my toes.
“Why? You don’t want to hear the truth p>
He cursed, pulling out of me to flip me over and place me on the desk. His fingers tangled into my hair as he kissed me deeply, pushing inside me once more.
“You want to be Luna? Fine, be fucking Luna!” he hissed. “I’ll give you the fucking ceremony p>
I grinned to myself, finally allowing myself succumb to the pleasure.
My orgasm hit me hard. My eyes squeezed shut of their own accord as he emptied himself inside of me.
We stayed there for a minute, trying to catch our breaths. I could tell he was thinking about what he’d promised me, but there was no way he could take it back.
A knock on the door interrupted our silence and Henry pulled back from me, clearing his throat as he answered.
I reached for my dress, taking my precious time to put it on. Whoever was outside would surely have smelled us by now, but I wanted to make a point.
“I have something for you, Alpha,” a male voice said.
I recognized it as belonging to one of the guards. I didn’t know his name, but I’d heard him around the pack at different times.
“Come in,” Henry said as soon as I’d finished pulling on my dress.
The guard glanced at me for a moment, inclining his head in a respectful bow before making his way over to Henry.
I had no interest in whatever politics they wanted to discuss. I had a mating ceremony to plan and celebrations to partake in.
I could already smell the victory in the air and feel the rush of power of being Luna.
It’d be a slap in the face of everyone who ever told me that it was a stupid dream that would never come to fruition.
“I’ll see you around, Henry,” I drawled, voice dripping with humor as I headed for the door.
The door was only slightly ajar when I heard something that made my blood run cold.
“We couldn’t find anything linking Nyssa to those rogues,” the guard said, his voice barely over a whisper. “However, I sent some men to comb their hideout in the mountains and we found letters from someone. Nyssa’s name was written on them but… there’s a problem p>
“What problem?” Henry asked.
“They’re all marked by dates, and on the dates that some of them were sent, she was with you at the palace. She couldn’t possibly have sent them if she wasn’t even present in the pack p>
